Attempt to Murder is one of the most serious criminal offences in India. Under Section 307 IPC (now Section 111 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023), a person who does any act with the intention to kill or with knowledge that it is likely to cause death, but where death does not occur, is liable for punishment.
Old Law (IPC, 1860): Section 307 – Attempt to Murder.
New Law (BNS, 2023): Section 109 – Attempt to Murder.
Procedure (CrPC vs. BNSS): The offence remains cognizable, non-bailable, and triable by Sessions Court under both the old Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) and the new Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS).
Evidence & Trial: Governed earlier by the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, now replaced by the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA, 2023).
Difference from Murder (Section 302 IPC / Section 100 BNS)
Murder (302 IPC / 100 BNS): Death actually occurs.
Attempt to Murder (307 IPC / 109 BNS): Death does not occur, but the intent and act to kill are proven.
